This release adds a few bits of functionality missed from version 1.0.

Added support for marking readings as bills, and then on the readings screen viewing only billed readings. This lets you check your bills, get a quick readout of your usage and costs since your last bill, and an estimate of when and how much your next bill will be.

Added support for rate changes, e.g. if you change supplier or they change their rates (this usually happens every year!).

Added a price comparison feature for UK users. As the app knows your usage, you can quickly find out if there are better deals on the market for your area. Follow the link provided and you can quickly and easily switch providers.

As you probably know by now, I have been working on a Mac version of Account Tracker for some time. I even signed up to the Mac developer program a few weeks ago, and this has got me fired up! I really want to get something out before Christmas, but it is clear I am not going to be ready with a full app by then. So as an interim step, I will be releasing a companion app that lets you view your iOS backup files and data on the bigger screen of your Mac!

It can automatically load your latest backup from iCloud, and apply recent changes if you are using iCloud syncing. Alternatively you can manually select a backup file to open (e.g. from Dropbox).

You then have full access to your accounts, budgets, reports and transactions. The only things you cannot do is add or edit transactions, or change (most of) your settings. These changes will come with the full version in the new year.

So … I am currently adding the few final touches, and doing some last minute testing. I thought I was close a week ago, but getting to grips with publishing a Mac app has taken a large amount of effort, far more than I expected!
